Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for the treatment of oil-containing fruits
IPC: B07B13/00
Filed: 1927-01-25
Abstract: 267,092. Krupp Grusonwerk Akt.- Ges., F. March 4,1926, [Convention date]. Fat or fatty oils, extracting. - Oil-containing fruits, such as the nuts of the oil palm, are heated in a steam-jacketed receptacle 2 provided with stirrers 3 whereby the pulp of the fruit is dissociated from the nuts, some oil flowing off through openings 4 at the lower end of the receptacle. The mixture of nuts and pulp passes through an adjustable opening 6 down a shoot 7 to a separating device 8 consisting of two trough-shaped compartments 9, 9<1>, each of which is provided with a discharge opening 10, 10<1>. Each opening is covered to a considerable extent by a rotating discharge roller 12, 12<1> so that under the action of the rotating rollers the pulp only can pass out to a conveyer 14. The inner walls 9<a> of the sections or compartments 9, 9<1> may be resilient, to prevent jamming of fibres in the discharge slots. Stirrers 13 are provided in the compartments, and the rollers 12, 12<1>, and the worm conveyer 14 may be heated. The pulp is delivered by the conveyer 14 to a press 15. The nuts, by the action of helical flutings on the rollers, are moved towards one end of the separating device, and pass down a shoot 17 into a receptacle 19 provided with stirrers 18 and filled with water. The nuts are washed and the oil withdrawn from the surface of the water through a pipe 20. A revolving scraper 21 transfers the washed kernels to a conveyer 25. The washing receptacle may be heated. In a modification, separating devices are arranged in the form of a circle round a central supply pipe, and the pulp is removed by a common discharge disc. In a further modification, the pulp and nuts are deposited on an endless travelling belt from which the nuts are delivered on one side by an oblique wall under which the belt passes, the pulp being delivered at the other by an oblique dofeer.

Title: Improvements in or relating to liquid rheostats
IPC: H01C10/02
Filed: 1945-02-02
Abstract: 588,171. Controlling tension in cords during winding. DUNLOP RUBBER CO., Ltd. Feb. 2, 1945, No. 2621. Convention date, May 1, 1944. [Class 120 (ii)] [Also in Groups XXXV, XXXVI and XXXVIII] A liquid rheostat, the conductance of which varies with the motion and position of the electrodes, is used to control the tension in a cord being wound on to a drum. A cord 12 is unwound from a spool 13 by a motor-driven pulley 14. The cord passes round a pulley 16 and is wound on a driven drum 15. The pulley 16 carries a vertical arm and a weight 17. A slotted lever 18 transmits the motion of pulley 16 to the inner electrode of the rheostat 19, which is connected in the supply leads of the motor-driven pulley 14. If the wind-up speed of cord is less than the unwinding speed the pulley 16 drops, causing the inner electrode of the rheostat to rise, thus decreasing the conductance of the rheostat, the supply current to the motor driving pulley 14, and the unwinding speed. Similarly, the conductance of the rheostat increases if the speed of winding is less than the unwinding speed. The increase or decrease in the conductance of the rheostat is due to the motion of the inner electrode as well as to its changed position. This is stated to suppress hunting.
